immense gold ledge situate in the Lost
Basin near the entrance TO the Grand
Canyon Of The Colorado, aad about six
miles this side OF the river. II IL abou,
;orty-fye miles from blackberry and
about ten miles further from Kinsman,
with a good natural road from each place
direct 10 tie mine. The Developments
consist OF tannel 800 feet long run in on
the vein. II is about 7x5, and is in ore all
the way. The face OF the tunne! is con
nected with the surface by shaft $50 feet
deep, which is 5xs feet In size and is also
all the way ia ore. The full extent Of the
ore body has not yet been fully determIn.
cd but in some places it is fully 80 feet
wide. The Gre is a free-miliing white
quartz and viii mill SIS per ton in gold
Just as 1t comes from the vein. There il
a large quantity Of ore now ON the dumps,
and in fact nearly everything that is taken
from the mine Is to be milled. To DO this
he company have sirsaiy contracted sor
large mil, with capacity and fower f.,
twenty-five stsHnqs, although, only ten
aamp. will b. pI: in to start with. Th
mill will lsc built 0. the Glnn's Spring
mill s;.S, sascpfly purchased by Mr. Luthy
for the company, and Which contains a
;arge spring Of water. and is situated abo;it
half m:.e south of the Colorado river
and six miles from the mine.
supf. Brother has already force Of
Ten men engaged in grading ready for the
carpenters and mili-wrights. The engine
which is to furnish the power to run this
mill is OF the Corliss pattern, and is now
being put together, as Is all the other
machinery required in tie mill, at the
Fulton Iron Works in San Francisco,
which firm has the contract for furnishing
all the machinery. The engine will have
a II in. cylinder and 30 in. stroke and will
be about 60 borse power. The crushing
machinery will consist OF one OF Blake's
Improved Crus hers with sx10 jaws and q
battery OF $50 ID. stamps, ten Of which will
be put in motion as fast as money and men
can do il, while the other fifteen will be add
ed at leisure. The boiler will be Of steel, 81
in by Is feet. From the battery the ore will
run over amalgamating plates, which are
expected to save all Of the gold.
Work on the mill will be commenced
just as soon as the necessary lumber can
be hauled to the ground, and carpenters,
machinists, teamsters, mill Wrights and
laborers can get employment at once by
interviewing Mr.. Brother, who has ex-
pressed his determination to have the
stamps dropping by August Let. To do
this there will have to be some tall rus
Ting, bat Mr.. Brother seems TO be the kind
of a man who accomplishes wha. he
sets out TO do.
There will be at least fifty tons Of ma
chinery to haul cut to the new mill, be-
sides 100 tons Of lumber, In the next few
weeks, which would have been hauled
from blackberry, but owing to efforts
made by some Of our leading merchants
